I have two chickens which were laying eggs pretty regular about middle of august they quit laying I didn't think much about it because its very hot right now mid to upper 90s (it is south Texas) then a friend gave two hens (bantams) they were laying regular and quit after a few days, the coup...
I know pine shavings are the most common thing to use in nesting boxes what about cedar shavings wouldn't that help with unwanted insects like mites
